What makes the Bardstown –Bethlehem boy’s basketball rivalry so interesting is the contrast in styles and the fact that both schools are less than a few miles away and even through it is the Public school-Private school scenario, it’s usually a close well fought game. 
This one was not. Senior Jalen Stone, who is part of the Tigers second unit, came up with an assist-layup-three pointer and another three pointer to break a 15-11 first half lead into a 33-16 halftime Bardstown advantage on the way towards a big win over the Eagles. Coach James Brewer, who is in his fourth year at Bardstown, has always put together a competitive team each season despite numerous graduations of starters. This one is no different as it is as athletic and quick as the last three which all made a serious 5th Region title run. L J Cowherd came up with a game high 14 points for the surging Bardstown Tigers (12-4) defeated Bethlehem (6-8), 59-38.
